It's so wired to be adjusted to listen to English and suddenly something very familiar sounds through - German :-)

I frequent a gym in London where Jake, the guy in the thumbnail, sets. He is an unfortunately not a great setter at all - always sets quite tall and has no understanding of how to make climbs more universal, I've watched him set for a while now. It's often him alongside other guys which are around 6ft, the fault lies with all of them to be honest. Many shorter people, including most females are completely alienated on multiple climbs - even V1s to V3s! They're exponentially harder due to this.

Fortunately, I've seen some setters around Europe who actually actively take this into account and other gyms in the area clearly don't have this issue. Many of us have already reported feedback to the gym, but I also hope he sees this comment and tries to fix such a blatant error.
